About Scrooge McDuck
While Scrooge comes from humble beginnings as a young Scottish boy in Glasgow and worked his way up, his claim to fame or ticket to wealth was really when he chanced upon a golden rock the size of a goose’s egg. The year following this, he makes his first one million dollars, with which he buys a deed to piece of land from the owners of Duckburg. After some time, he ends up in Duckburg where he sets up his famous Money Bin. After travelling the world in years following this, while his family managed Money Bin, Scrooge goes back to Duckburg as the richest duck in the world.
Interesting to note is that real-life Forbes Magazine once tried to estimate how much Scrooge really had wealth-wise, in real human terms. The estimation came up to $28.8 Billion in the year 2007. In 2011, due to rising gold prices, this figure almost doubled to $44.1 Billion.
